Agree; those users will need a MMC_CAP_RUNTIME_PM (or maybe call it
with the capability it really stands for which is something like
MMC_CAP_POWER_OFF_CARD).

But I want to be positively sure we have such users (or is it that obvious?).

How is the sd8686's reset line manipulated on other platforms ? Or is
the sd8686 usually just kept powered on after boot ?

I'm looping in libertas-dev.

Thanks,
Ohad.
